Default Removing foglights

I'm upgrading my foglights to HID. The problem is I can't seem to get those stubborn foglights off the bumper ... I know there are clips in the retainers that I have to push in to get them loose but they are really hard as hell to push out... If there are any good tips to get them off without having to go underneath the car to do it, please let me know... Thanks!

You can swap bulbs with the fogs in... it's a pain, but you can do it.

Yeah, that's plan "B"... I was just hoping that there's an easy way to make plan "A" work... Thanks

Not without removing the bumper... which is probably easier than trying to access the passenger side lamp... that thing is buried!

That is how i changed mine out when i went to the JDM ones.
I takes less time to unbolt, remove the bumber, change out fogs, and put back together then it does messing around under the car with little or no space.
